which would otherwise qualify for direct sales) and to not pay commissions for
them, if we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, to prevent abuse of the

periodically may establish.

duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as

each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in
place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
